Bernardo Weyl, a former resi- dent of Clifton, where he earned the euphonious cognomen of "Captain Stud" is in trouble in San Francisco, and from the Chronicle of the 18th inst. we clip the following, which will prove of interest to many of our readers:
 A young man, cigar and tobacco merchant, named Bernardo Weyl was before Judge Hornblower yesterday morning charged with obtaining goods by false pretenses. According to the prosecution he ordered various brands of cigars from John Schlesinger to the amount of over $500 without hay ing any property to pay for them
 The defendant was placed upon. the witness stand. He has a bland, unconcerned style about him, and does not appear to be 20 years old. He has, however, according to his statement, been in business for two years and owned three cigar stores and tobacco factories in Mexico and Texas. and is also married man. On being cross examined he said he was worth about S10,000 when he ordered the cigars in question, but was arrested by Schlesinger for transferring his factory and his business to an uncle"
 "Whats the uncle's name?" asked Prosecuting Attorney Coffey.
 "Illaway," blandly responded the youthful merchant.
 "Where is he?"
 II don't know sir"
 He is Illaway, is he?" and the bashful Coffey ducked his head under the table after his first joke. but it was some time before the Court grasped the depth of the attorneys humor.
 Judge Hornblower then took the defendant in charge.
 "If you were worth S10,000 when you ordered the cigars what has become of it now?" he asked.
 "Well, I lost $500 Tn Vera Cruz and I got married and that cost me S2000," and the defendant smiled blandly at his Honor.
 Two thousand dollars to get married! Dear me, it must have been a grand affair. Was it worth all that, do you think?" asked the Court; but the defendant hung down his head and did not an- swer.
 The case was continued until the 18th inst, as there were three points to be taken into considera- tior. His Honor explained that it would take hlm some time to study the points, and adjourned the.case accordingly

Mir. Fisher, the aged father of Mrs. Wells of Gro, has been con- fined to his bed for the past three weeks. Some time since he ac- cidently cut himself with a hatchet. The wound, which at first caused him little or no incon- venience, subsequently, became swollen and infamed, finally de- veloping into sort of an abscess and causing the old gentleman a great deal of pain. The swelling was lanced by Dr. Lacy last week, and Mir. Fisher is reported to be improving. On account of his ex- treme age serious results were at one time feared, and we are pleased to note his probable re- covery.

Distress in Newfoundland

HALIFAX, March 12.-ISpecial Telegram
TO the BEE.l-The attempts of the New
foundland papers to suppress the actual facts
about the distressing want and In some cases
actual starvation IN districts remote from
cities, Is simply infamous. In the district
known as Green Pond, only eighty miles
from the metropolis, where five steamers of
q sailing feet went to obtain crews for seal
fisheries, the inhabitants of the locality and
surroundings were reduced to such straits
that they threatened to board the steamers
and take from them such supply of
provisions intended for sealing voy-
ago unless immediate relief was granted to
the starving families by the government. 1t
Is useless to attempt to deny or conceal these
facts, knowing well the temperament Of the
people and thoroughly convinced from the
representations made that threats of plunder
would be carried into effect. The govern
ment Immediately sent relief by the coasting
steamer Rover. narrowing accounts of
destitution reach Halifax from the northern
districts and press that deliberately sup
presses facts ana declares that there Is no un-
usual distress Is utterly insensible to the ap-
peals of suffering humanity. The prOhibl-
tiOn of the sale of bait will prove disastrous
